After devoting 44 years to teaching and administrative work at the San Diego College for Women and USO, Sister Sally M. Furay, R.S.C.J., is retiring. The academic vice president and provost is, however, by no means leaving. Her spirit remains indelibly woven into the fabric of USO and will undoubtedly continue to shape the university she loves so completely.

THE UNIVERSITY OF SAN DIEGO

Professors and students sometimes felt like intruders when they ventured into Tecolote Canyon Natural Park, an envi– ronmental preserve just below USD's hilltop campus. As teachers and park representatives got to know each other, however, they found common ground in projects that will educate students and, at the same time, preserve the natural habitat right outside the university's back door.

The Hera Next Door By Trisha J. Ratledge

In a world seemingly filled with fallen "heroes" - disreputable celebrities, disgraced politicians, scandalous sports figures - there's hope, and it's right next door. Every day, countless average folks are changing lives through simple but profound acts: a game of basketball in an underprivileged neighborhood, a pint of bone marrow donated to a terminally ill patient, a home opened to children in need. These are the true heroes to celebrate.
